What Will Be the Top Robotic Welding Trends to Emerge in 2022?

Whenever the year changes, reviews of the past and forecasts for the future flood in from every channel imaginable. Let’s make no exception to the rule and have a look at the welding trends in 2021, which will (most probably) drive the industry – and businesses in general.

Welding robots are no longer just a treat for a few. The introduction of robust yet affordable welding robotization solutions to the market has lowered the threshold to improving welding productivity or quality through automation. There are several things to keep in mind when deciding on the best solution for your company – to help you make the choice I will outline three alternative approaches on this blog post.

A productive, high-quality robotic welding cell is created in collaboration between a robot integrator, a welding machine supplier, and a workpiece designer. The best solution for customizing a robotic welding cell is found when reliable welding equipment with different detection functions meets automation expertise early on in the design phase.

Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.

Eurosatory 2026 highlighted a clear shift in modern defence manufacturing. While defence systems are becoming more digital, networked, and autonomous, their foundation remains physical. From armoured vehicles and artillery to industrial resilience, welding quality, steel structures, and production discipline remain paramount to defence readiness.
